That aforementioned attitude would be classic “tweener.” Just like my Uncle said about hippies, eventually they all grew up and became CEO’s.

Eventually Abby will get a corporate job and wear suits to work, and they will be gray, blue, and black, the thought of red nail polish will abhor her, and anything pink will be thrown into the trash can.

/shrug.

Either that or she’ll turn into the “cat lady”

Although a great bit of this is poking fun, there is a certain amount of truth in it.

I’m an adult and I’m expected to maintain a certain professional look when I’m at work so I hardly see it as repression of a kids freedom of expression. The usual scheme in the UK is that no student is allowed to wear makeup until the final year of standard education, when they reach 15/16 yrs old. Even then they tend to require that it be subtle and not too full on. There is nothing stopping them going stupid with the stuff on their own time out of school. Post 16 is classed as Further Education and many / most education establishments allow students to dress as they choose.

Hats off to the girls behind this – I’m certainly a fan of innovation and I suspect it has helped their education.
